Hugo Keenan shows incredible speed to save the day after great ... (SportsJOE.ie)

Ireland started like a freight train against Wales but Hugo Keenan needed every yard of his old Sevens rugby pace to maintain their rollicking start.

As it was, Dan Biggar chipped over three easy points but Wales rarely got a look at the Ireland 22v for the next 20 minutes. Many of their supporters took to social media to vent their surprise and frustration at the conservative play. Somehow, after giving up several metres, Hugo Keenan made up ground and reached the ball before Dyer for a fine try-saver. A few phases later, Wales were awarded a penalty and captain Ken Owens opted for three points rather than kicking for touch. The Ireland captain wanted a knock-on against Wales but play raged on. Andy Farrell's men raced into a 14-10 lead after only 10 minutes, with Caelan Doris and James Ryan crashing over.
